Audio Advice, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based specialty retailer and integrator, has acquired The Sound Room, an audio, video and home automation company in St. Louis.

The Sound Room was founded in 1983 by David Young, while Audio Advice has operated since 1978. The companies said the acquisition combines their experience and expands resources, product offerings and service capabilities.

“The Sound Room has been dedicated to delivering cutting-edge technology and personalized service to our clients,” Young said. “Joining forces with Audio Advice ensures our customers will continue to receive exceptional service while benefiting from expanded resources, expertise and product offerings.”

Audio Advice is known for its technical expertise, showroom experiences and e-commerce platform. The company recently expanded showrooms in Nashville, Tennessee, and Wilmington, North Carolina.

“We are thrilled to welcome The Sound Room into the Audio Advice family,” said Scott Newnam, CEO, of Audio Advice. “Our shared values of excellence, customer service, and passion for technology make this a natural partnership. Together, we will continue to raise the bar for what customers can expect from an audio, video and automation company.”

The Sound Room will continue to operate from its St. Louis location with its current team. Customers will also gain access to Audio Advice’s online resources, design tools and expanded product lines.
